Parasitemon

Description

Parasitemon, identified as card number BT17-050, stands as a significant Level 6 Mega Virus Digimon within the 2024 Secret Crisis [BT17] booster expansion of the Digimon Card Game. This R-rarity card introduces a distinct play pattern centered on its Parasite type classification and Alliance keyword, offering players a versatile tactical option for high-level strategies. With a play cost of 9 and a base Digital Power (DP) of 4000, Parasitemon requires careful resource management to enter the battle field effectively. The card’s primary strategic value lies in its ability to operate as an embedded threat. By paying 4 cost, players can place Parasitemon as the bottom digivolution card of a Level 5 or higher Digimon. This setup allows the host Digimon to suspend an opponent’s monster and attack another target, effectively turning a single unit into a multi-pronged offensive tool. The Alliance mechanic further enhances this versatility by permitting the host to reposition Parasitemon to another Digimon at the end of the attack, ensuring the card remains in play to disrupt the opponent’s board state. Survivability is bolstered by an inherited effect that triggers when an opponent attempts to delete this Digimon. Players may play another Parasitemon from the digivolution cards without paying the cost, providing a crucial defensive layer that protects the investment in play cost and DP. Additionally, during the player’s turn, this Digimon receives a substantial +3000 DP boost, significantly increasing its ability to challenge stronger opposing monsters or break through protective effects. For collectors of the Digimon Card Game, BT17-050 represents a key component for those building decks focused on swarm tactics, resource recursion, and high-impact Mega Digimon strategies within the Secret Crisis era.
